Question

The ordered pairs in the table below represent a linear function.

(x,y)
(2,3)
(5,9)
What is the slope of the function?

Answer 1

The slope is 2

Explanation:

There's a theorem:
`(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)` So lets put that into our equation.

`(9-3)/(5-2)` which also equals
`(6)/(3)`

Then, all we must do is divide the nominator from the denominator.

6/3 = 2

Therefore, the slope is 2!

I hope this helps!
